Question

The​ statement, "A person who eats meat and then fights for animal rights demonstrates double​ standards" is an evaluative statement. Such an opinion constitutes the​ ________ component of an attitude.

Answer 1

Answer:

Cognitive

Explanation:

Attitude is the generalized way a person thinks and acts when presented with a situation.

The cognitive component of attitude is responsible for why the person feels and behaves the way they do when presented with a situation.

For example, a person is afraid of snakes, this is the affective component of attitude

As a result the person avoids snakes, this is the behavioral component of attitude.

The above two components are dependent on the cognitive component as the person thinks of snakes as dangerous.

Here, the statement indicates why the person the feels and behaves the way he/she does when confronted by a person that contradicts themselves.

Hence, this shows the cognitive component of attitude.
